Hi My teeth are oddly shaped and small but I would like some information on how to correct them. (photos)

Question

I have been considering veneers for the front two teeth and then tooth reshaping for the teeth next to them. Would this work? Thanks in advance.

Veneers would be a great option for you.  I would probably recommend placing at least 4 veneers on your top and at least 2-4 on the bottom, if you are not looking to change the shade of your teeth.  This would be a very easy case in my office.  It would take 1-2 appointments to prep and place these veneers.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

Yes, it is my professional opinion that porcelain veneers would improve the appearance of your teeth and smile.However, I believe that it would look much better if your had four porcelain veneers instead of just two.Also, your dentist could adjust and smooth your lower front teeth to make them appear much more even.  Oftentimes this is done without any local anesthetic, as smoothing superficial enamel is not uncomfortable because there are no nerves in the enamel (the nerves are actually in the underlying tooth called the root or dentin).

Thomas Roberts, DDS (retired) · Answer

It is a little difficult to get a good idea what your teeth look like but I believe many things can be done to improve the looks of your teeth.  The first thing I would consider is braces.  Perhaps all you need is to have your teeth placed in a better location for them to look better.  If this does not satisfy your desire then composite bonding or even veneers may be an option.  Seek out a cosmetic dentist in your city and they will give you a better idea what your options are.  Good luck!
